"Are you warm love?"

You softly nodded your head, nuzzling in the crook of Heeseung's neck, both of your bodies pressed together as you two laid down on the blanket underneath the starry night.

The red-head laughs, rubbing his palms on your back as he stared at the never ending field before his eyes, cherishing the warmth you provided him as his did to yours, humming a song of lullaby for his appreciation.

Heeseung pushed the suffocating sadness down, the one that was clawing at his throat and threatening for his tears to spill down his delicate cheeks as he tried focusing on his intentions at hand; to make you happy in his arms.

You gently raised your head to face him, stealing a kiss on his chin as you fixed the blanket that was draped on your shoulders. You poked the small, dainty mole just underneath his nose, smiling cheekily.

"What are you thinking?" you asked, letting your head fall back down on his chest. "You're not worrying again, are you love?"

It was one of your many oddities. How you can easily read him like a clear, printed letter when he was barely saying anything. Or like how you can easily detect when he's upset and sad or bothered without having to worry about opening up to you. You were just special like that. You were very good at reading him through that Heeseung wonders how deep could your observation go?

Heeseung kisses the top of your head, his lips lingering there for a little while as you closed your eyes, basking in the sensation of how soft his lips were. It was just like how he is to you, a gentle caress of nothing but softness.

"I was simply admiring the view before us." His voice was muffled but it was enough for you to clearly understand and hear him. "It is very beautiful, am I right?"

You laughed, shaking your head as you stared at him, pinching his nose.

"Silly, we've been here quite a handful of times remember? I would've thought you would've been used to the view by now."

"But a beauty still needs appreciation even witnessing it over before a plenty of times." He wistfully tells you, taking your chin in his fingers.

"Just like you, sweetheart. You are a rare beauty that I will love and cherish and remember even over for the eternity..." his voice trails off just before he fully pulled you just enough to finally kiss you.

Time seemed to stop when your lips met, just like it always do when you kiss. The feeling of fluttery in the pit of your stomach only intensified as you felt the loud pounding in your chest when Heeseung pulled you closer to his arms, fingers gently tracing your jaw before he landed a last soft peck on your lips and another to your cheeks, to your nose and to your forehead.

"I love you and I want you to know that I always be here for you." He told you, softness lacing his voice while he held you close, foreheads touching while his palms where still cupping your jaw in his.

You nodded, closing your eyes as you gulped down the choking sob that threatened to let loose. You placed your hands just above his, kissing his palms when a lone tear rolled down on your cheek.

"I know..." You croaked out. "And I love you, too."
